Summer reading and relevance to teaching the electrochemistry portion of the new Chemistry specification. No rest for the wicked. #edchatie #lcreform

Super night with the Carlow/KK branch of @irishsciteach.bsky.social with a workshop on the MiniOne DNA electrophoresis kit. See them at the annual conference on April 5th. #IteachBio #lcreform #edchatie

As I told @edmatters4all.bsky.social ,Irish educators are being "severely hamstrung" by lack of govt AI education policy. Optional training isn't enough—every teacher needs full, mandatory and ongoing AI training for the most transformative technology in our history. #LCReform #AIEducation #edchatie

If you think this is bad, imagine the pressure that will come on teachers & schools if we are asked to assess our own students under Norma Foley’s #LCreform proposals.

Worth a read now that Science teachers in Ireland are planning for new specifications

🔔 Following yesterday’s Irish Times article - New post on my LinkedIn detailing why we must pause LC reform. Read more here: www.linkedin.com/posts/patric... 📚 #AIEducation #LeavingCert #edchatie #lcreform

Here’s hoping this decision by the @irishsciteach.bsky.social has the desired impact. The outcomes for our students if it stays as it is will add to their woes, not take them away. #edchatie #lcreform

🚨My latest article just dropped 🚨🐘 The AI Elephant in Irish Classrooms
•Teachers need proper AI training before new LC rollout.
•12-month postponement crucial
• our students deserve prepared teachers & fair assessment.

You are more optimistic than me! I hope you are right or the #LCReform is going to be like watching an iceberg coming towards us and damaging our young people and economy in the longer term.

Hi, Edel, PP teacher in Louth (live Monaghan) I want the new government to pause the #LCReform take note of the major issues with the JC and amend #edchatie treat teachers with the respect they deserve, appoint a Minister that is genuinely interested in listening, restore incentives for upskilling

Much fun had with @irishsciteach.bsky.social and @drjohnodonoghue.bsky.social in getting to grips with electrochemistry changes to the new specification. Still not sure where we are to get the planning time for these changes but one part is now planned! ✅

We get a theme in 5th year and an experiment to research and perform in 6th year. I want to know where the Irish Universities are in this discussion? The quality of our graduates is vital to our economy. I see the impact of the poor JC at SC daily. This will amplify it. #lcreform #edchatie

Have they not learned from the 10 CBAs in 2nd and 3rd years? 5th years aren’t going to know enough stuff so does it all get tossed into the second half of 6th year? You are right - it is not continuous assessment #edchatie #lcreform #JuniorCycle
